Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

Speed and pitch

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.

Lifted off at 89 kt with 0.8° of pitch.

How to read this

Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 674 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,893 ft of runway left; then climbing at 1,300 fpm on average to 674 ft.

How to read this

The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Rolled from 242 ft in, drifted 5 ft right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 38 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.

How to read this

The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.

The approach to KSJX 09

The final from 4 nm.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 1.2 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 150 ft above the slope.

How to read this

Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 1,000 ft past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.

Joined 730 ft left of the centreline at 1.2 nm, then inside the band from 0.9 nm to the threshold.

How to read this

Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 78 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 48 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +4 kt and +11 kt on the approach speed of 71 kt.

How to read this

Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.

The crosswind

Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° left of the track, wings level.

Wind 060° at 3 kt · 3 kt head · 1 kt across

How to read this

The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.

The stop

From 63 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 18 s, an average deceleration of 0.11 g.

How to read this

Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.

Side view — the last 4,289 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 21 ft, 29 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 842 ft in, 158 ft short of the ideal 1,000 ft.

How to read this

The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 4,289 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 440 fpm at 22 ft to 80 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.0° on the way down.

How to read this

Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.

Plan view — the full 4,289 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.

Touched down on the centreline, and stayed within 7 ft of it down the rollout.

How to read this

The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.

The aircraft, a PA28 Arrow III, then embarked on its departure roll from runway 09, using 1,588 feet - 35% of the runway's length - to reach liftoff speed of 90 kt.

As the aircraft took off, it encountered relatively calm weather conditions, with a temperature of 67°F and a gentle breeze of 4 kt at 120°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 3 kt. Following liftoff, the aircraft commenced an en route climb from 1,371 feet above sea level, reaching 2,575 feet in the space of 1 minute and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

At this point, the aircraft engaged in level cruise flying, first north of Charlevoix for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles. The subsequent descent from 2,471 feet to 1,773 feet over 2 minutes and a distance of 4 nautical miles was initiated approximately 5 miles southeast of Beaver Island Airport. Following this descent, the aircraft entered another period of level cruise flying, this time south of Welke Airport on Beaver Island, lasting 4 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles.

As the flight approached its destination, the aircraft started its final approach to runway 09 at Beaver Island Airport, commencing from a point 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold at an altitude of 319 feet above ground level, heading towards the threshold at 90.0°.

The landing procedure proceeded smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on runway 09 at a speed of 65 kt and distance of 835 ft. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed at 75 kt, while the touchdown rate of -81 ft/min was exemplary. Moreover, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, signifying a precise touchdown. Following a smooth landing, the total landing distance was 2,194 ft, representing 51% of the runway's length.

The final segment of the flight involved taxiing the aircraft from the runway to the parking area, a task that took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
